After nearly five months of painting, sophomore Katie Melland is nearing the completion of a mural intended for installation in the Outback Teen Center late this month. Katie designed the mural last August after her mom spotted an article in the New Canaan Advertiser outlining the contest, which requested local painters to create a mural sketch. Later that month Katie submitted a 2’x1’ sketch, which was selected in October.

The dance was shut down by the police at 9:30 pm, an hour and a half earlier than planned, and resulted in one arrest and two hospitalizations.
